Happy to find a veggie option on the go - Edit
We were on the go and needed a quick stop for lunch. Came across this place with 2 veg curry options which were not bad at all. It was the right kind of meal we were craving for.

Not the best curry, but it's good enough. - Edit
There is one vegeterian curry base available, I chose Cheese as a topping. There are many spice levels to choose from, which is good, but it's really not the best curry I ever had.
Read morePros: Fair curry base
Cons: Limited collection to choose from

A Go-To Place for Late Night Dine Out - Edit
I love the white rice, and the balanced blend of spices and spicyness of the curry. I love the cozy vibe. This is my first meal during my visit in Tokyo as my flight arrival is at night time and I was able to check in around past 9PM already.
Read morePros: Rice and curry, Good and fast service, Cozy vibe
Cons: Just the spinach option

Not great - Edit
I was happy to find a place with vegan delivery since I was jetlagged, but was pretty disappointed in the curry. I wish I had gone out to a vegan restaurant instead.

Easy to order and really tasty - Edit
I was a bit tipsy (okay, more than a bit!), so I wouldn't trust my judgement on this 100%, but the curry was really tasty. Next time, I'll get the size down and order some French fries because I think the curry sauce would be a great chip-dipping sauce! I will be going back, especially for

Tasty fast curry! - Edit
The vegan options were plain curry, vegetable curry and soya hamburger patty curry. The vegetable curry is cheap and tasty, the spiciness level, rice amount etc are asjustable

Good Curry - Edit
Been twice and the food has been good both times. The menu is all-in-one and the veg food is on a different page - they do have a veg curry in the meat part of the menu but the menu states that it has ‘pork sauce’i in it - in English as well as the Japanese. The veg stuff is on a green page. They even do a no-allergy curry listing all the obvious allergens. They also have a low carb option as well.
Read morePros: Quick, Fresh

Even better with vegetarian menu now - Edit
They used to only have meat based curries, but now not only is there a vegetarian curry, but soy meat for it! Coco is the best chain curry ever, even if this location is a little smaller than most.

Great little find! - Edit
Lovely retro little restaurant, clean and friendly. English vegetarian menu available, order from that and you’ll have no surprises. Great prices, quite cheap and good serving size. I believe it’s part of a chain.

Fast and tasty - Edit
Ask for the separate vegetarian menu because the regular vegetable curry’s contain meat. Tasty and reasonable price.

Ask for the vegetarian menu. - Edit
Decent curry at a relatively cheap price. They absolutely *do* have vegetarian curry, but you must follow the instructions in the description above and ask for the vegetarian menu. On that menu, all curry is free of animal ingredients (clearly stated in English). On the main menu, none of the curries are vegetarian (again, stated in English on the front of the menu).
Read morePros: Tasty food, cheap.
Cons: Fairly basic food.

Good - Edit
Had the curry with mushrooms. It tasted like an average curry - good, but not extraordinary.
Read moreI ordered very spicy, but sadly, it wasn‘t spicy at all. But for about 800yen, I can‘t complain.
Pros: Vegan options

Nothing special but cheap, and time-saver. - Edit
First: ASK FOR THE VEGETARIAN MENU, so you don't get any meat (usually it's on the table right behind the regular menu)
Read moreThat said, it will not blow your mind away, but it's kinda cheap ad fast and open till late.

Everything has Meat products - Edit
All the curries have meat derivatives from beef chicken and porks, it’s written in their menu. We went back out after reading. Don’t go there, someone should take this down in this website.

Great for casual dining - Edit
Super affordable. The dishes are pretty big so it will fill you up and the plain curry with rice is delicious and only ¥490
Read moreNot a very large restaurant. Seating is at a bar, so prepare to wait a bit for seating if you're with a group.
Pros: Great portion sizes, Budget options

The best Japanese curry chain for vegans - Edit
I've been to several branches of Coco Ichibanya across Japan which have the vegan/vegetarian menu, & each time I leave very satisfied. This branch was very easy to find & the staff were attentive. The curry arrived quickly and was delicious. There is also a list of toppings for an extra fee, many of which are vegetables.
Read morePros: Very cheap (around £6 for a curry), Free iced water, Option to add extra rice for a small fee

One of around 30 CoCo Ichiban shops in Tokyo offering vegan curry - Edit
This restaurant near entrance no. 5 of the Asakusa Ginza line station is one of around 30 restaurants of the CoCo Ichiban chain in Tokyo that let's you choose a vegan curry base for all of their dishes - but you need to say that you want the "bejetaarian basu".
Read moreThe also have an extra vegetarian/vegan menu in Japanese / English plus fotos, so it is easy to order, even if you don't speak Japanese.
Not all Coco Ichiban curry restaurants have the vegan option, but if you can read Japanese you find the locations with that option on the companies website under https://tenpo.ichibanya.co.jp/list/?c=4096. (as of June 2018).
Anyways, it is always worthwhile checking the CoCo Ichiban restaurants, because their vegan curry is delicious and a cheap option for grabbing a quick lunch or dinner when in Japan.
Pros: Vegan options, Typical Japanese curry rice flavour, English + picture menu
